[quote:Merci:MV8xOTMzMDU1XzMyMzc4NTY5X0Y1Q0FEOTIz] About to be off but I just looked at the thread Ac suggested and it is from AUG 2011 almost a year old. Are you serious we must post everything on a year old thread? GLP has outside Thread Police now? Goodness gracious that is OLD. I dont think I will comply, no hard feelings though. :hf: [/quote]
Original Message
While looking at the earthquake news from around the world, I noticed that El Hierro on the canary islands has been very active, so active that is lifting the Canary Islands. Hundreds of earthquakes have been documented and the island residents are ready to evacuate at moments notice.
The renewed seismic activity on the island of El Hierro since the 24th of June has now deformed the island by up to 6 centimetres horizontally and up to 7.5 centimetres vertically, according to data transferred by the IGN to the direction of Civil Protection Plan Volcanic Risk.
Since the earthquakes recommenced there have been over 750 earthquakes on El Hierro.
I find it strange that not one of those 750 or more earthquakes are logged on the USGS earthquake map. Not one single earthquake is shown.
If El Hierro erupts and large parts of that island slams into the ocean, it could cause a
mega tsunami wave
that could be really really large headed right for the
east coast.
More frightening for the approximately 10,000 residents is the fact that a bulge has developed in the island, lifting it five centimetres in four days. Whereas the volcanic activity of 2011 was based out at sea, this time the magma appears to be forming right underneath the island and the pressure is building.
